Asking for a friend: My Russian friend works at a school in Bangkok and has a Non-B visa with work permit. She will marry her Belgian husband in a week. She wants to add him to her Non-B visa. Does she need to go through the school? Does she do this at immigration? Or does she have to do this at an embassy outside of Thailand? Any advice would be much appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Your friend will need to obtain approval from her employer to add her Belgian husband to her Non-B visa as a trailing spouse. This involves first getting a 90-day Non-O visa for him, which must be applied for at the immigration office where she received her visa. They should visit the immigration office in Bangkok to gather the necessary requirements, including possibly needing to show marriage documents that must be legalized. It is crucial that this process is initiated through her employer and completed at the immigration office in Thailand.
